I just recently got a new case.  It's a Raidmax Scorpio 868 (Silver).

Well, I'v never modded a case before.  Had about 5 fans inside my old case, but without much orginization, a couple intake a couple exhaust (not including the cpu hsf).

I cut out the four intake grills in the front bottom of the case, installed 4x 80mm fans with aim sight type grills, and cut out a portion of the front bezel to allow better airflow. (Don't worry, it still looks good :P)  This case also came with 1x intake 80mm fan on the side, 2x 80mm exhaust fans on the back, and 2x 80mm PS fans on either end.

I forgot I also have a system blower underneath my Radeon 9800 pro.  Doing exhaust.

Right now I am in the process of adding a blow hole at the top of the case (cause we all know hot air rises).  Here are some pics:

The stock grills kill airflow when you put a fan in those slots, so I had to remove em :)  Same with the front part of that bezel, lots more airflow without it in the way.

Whatcha think?  I am thinking about adding a few more fans to the glass side panel, but gonna see how airflow is first.  I am also going to remove the back grills from the two fans included in the back.



PICS NOT WORKING, GIVE ME A FEW TO FIX

You must be confused, the is AR15.com, not computergeek.com

Just kidding, nice computer.

I  think that, even without seen the final pix,  you have enough fans and you can probaly take the existing fans and run them at 7v to quiet the thing down.

Anyone know of a good free image hosting site?
